If you're going to pick the Bears to win the Super Bowl, which I am, shouldn't you be certain that they'll beat the lowly Colts, which I'm not?
Maybe it's indicative of a refreshingly high level of parity in the NFL that I expect my pick to win it all will have trouble with a team coming off a 2-14 season. Or maybe Andrew Luck is just that promising. Or maybe I'm crazy for picking the Bears, though authorities ranging from legendary coach Bill Parcells to the video game Madden NFL 13 also have them in the Super Bowl.
It's not that I think the Bears are head and shoulders above the rest of the league. I don''t. Heck, in my more thorough, division-by-division series of NFL previews on my blog, the Morris Mirror (which you can find at morrisdailyherald.com), I don't even have the Bears winning the NFC North. That distinction went to the Packers, though the Bears, obviously, are one of my wild card teams in the NFC.
What we saw in 2011 is that you don't have to be the best team in the league to win the title. The Giants, who were 9-7 during the regular season, certainly weren't that. You only have to do two things. One is play well enough during the regular season to make the playoffs. The other is win three or four games, without losing, once you're there.
The best way to ensure you'll achieve the first part of the equation, it seems, is to be at the forefront of the league's passing revolution. New Orleans, New England and Green Bay were Nos. 1, 2 and 3 in passing yardage last season. None won fewer than 13 games. None of the NFL's top five passing offenses failed to make the playoffs; none of the top 12 finished with losing records.
Chicago ranked 24th in the league in passing, but there are reasons to believe the Bears can improve on that significantly in 2012. One is that Caleb Hanie is no longer around to torpedo their numbers, and their chances of winning. Another is that Jay Cutler didn't have Brandon Marshall, nor Alshon Jeffery, to throw to last season. Jeffery could very well emerge as the Bears' clear-cut No. 2 receiver, behind only Marshall, by later this season.
Other than Luck's Colts and Peyton Manning's Broncos, no team in the NFL is positioned to improve its passing game more this season than the Bears. They may not match the silly production of the Packers and the Saints, but a top-10 ranking isn't unreasonable. Nor is it unreasonable to think that improved passing production alone can add 2-3 wins to the eight the Bears had last season.
Assuming the Bears do make the playoffs — and in a loaded conference, I'll readily admit that's no cinch — they'll have to be able to outplay three or four playoff opponents in a row to hoist the Lombardi Trophy. I think they're about as likely as anyone else to be playing at that level in January.
There is no clear-cut superteam standing in their way. Green Bay is probably the closest, as the Packers won 15 games last season even with a defense that was terrible statistically. But the Packers already have a lengthy injury report and the season hasn't yet begun, and question marks remain in their defense, as well as in their offensive line and at running back. They might well be good enough to overcome it all, but they are flawed.
New England and New Orleans have serious defensive issues of their own, and the Saints are facing sanctions from their bounty scandal. The defending champion Giants can't run the ball, and the jury is out on whether they can cover anyone. San Francisco and Baltimore employ Alex Smith and Joe Flacco at quarterback. The Steelers' defense is old.
Pick a contender, and you can find a few flaws in it. The same is true of the Bears, who have major issues in their offensive line and their secondary. If Shea McClellin is a bust — many Bears fans seem resigned to that if being a when, but I'll reserve judgement until the real games start — they may not have an adequate pass rush. And nobody knows for sure what they'll get out of hobbled linebacker Brian Urlacher.
But other than Urlacher's health, all of those problems were problems in November of 2011, when I maintain the Bears were playing at a level that could very well have resulted in a Super Bowl win. They reached that level without Marshall, without Michael Bush, without McClellin and without Jeffery. Imagine the level they might reach with them.
I'm not saying you should bet the farm on the Bears reaching that level and maintaining it through Feb. 3. I'm just saying it's possible, and that in a league in which nobody else is a sure thing, I like their chances enough to pick them. I don't know that they'll make me look smart, for a change, but I can't wait to find out
Bears aren't head and shoulders above the league but I like their chances
If you're going to pick the Bears to win the Super Bowl, which I am, shouldn't you be certain that they'll beat the lowly Colts, which I'm not?

It's magazine season in Houston. First came Houstonia, the new city magazine, in the spring. Now comes a magazine about food and culture on the Gulf Coast, called Sugar and Rice, to debut this fall under executive editor David Leftwich. He'll be backed by Chris Cusack and his team at Down House, including business partner Joey Treadway and chef Benjy Mason.
Leftwich, as many who follow food news on social media here know, is a former New York book editor who is a brilliant home cook. He tweets out near-daily reports of the meals he makes for family and friends using local ingredients. Over the past couple of years he has sought out just about all of the worthy Houston-area producers of vegetables, herbs, meats, fish and seasonings ranging from salt to sorghum.
He haunts the markets, the progressive and ethnic restaurants and basically never stops thinking about this stuff, which makes him uniquely qualified to run a quarterly devoted to our regional food arts. The magazine will be available by subscription for roughly $30 a year (4 issues), and will be sold on newsstands for around $10 to $12 per issue.
How will Sugar and Rice — which is named for a couple of Houston's historic exports as well as an evocative line in Walt Whitman's poem "Song of the Broad-Axe" — support itself? The model will be subscriptions, single-issue sales and a limited number of ads from companies associated with Chris Cusack or businesses to which he has close connections, like the Always Creative agency and the Settlement Goods retail store.
The content will come from local freelancers, and from the principals. And yes, the freelance writers and photographers will be paid. "It's important to all of us that people are paid for good work," says Cusack. Among the contributors he cites for the first fall issue are outdoor/environmental writer Dan Oko; Houston bycatch king P.J. Stoops; Zach Martin, editor of the Gulf Coast literary journal out of U of H; and the inimitable Lisa and Christian Seger at Blue Heron Farm, from whence the goat cheese flows.
So they're going literary and academic as well as real world, an interesting mix. Cusack is promising a first issue with a manifesto by P. J. Stoops — presumably about the manifold, less-than-commercial Gulf species he champions; as well as a photo essay by local photographer Chuck Cook on an I-59 Fiesta store.
Sugar and Rice will also run a first-person essay on discovering locally beloved sparkling mineral water Topo Chico in Mexico, from the history to the plant to the mountain source.
Cusack says the presence of his various businesses will be kept to a minimum in the magazine. He says to expect "one add per stakeholder" per issue, and "very little" fanfare about Down House and his new craft beer venture, D& T Drive Inn. That will be a tricky path to tread, but the personnel and the impulse behind this new project seem very promising.
Houston could, if the stars align, end up with a food mag that combines some of the best aspects of the Southern Foodways Alliance's Gravy, David Chang's Lucky Peach, and the model Cusack says gave them particular inspiration: the Nordic "anti-foodie" food magazine Swallow.

Is it hot where you are? Strike that — without even knowing from where you hail, we can tell: it's probably pretty dang hot there. Our preferred method of beating the heat on summer's notorious Dog Days is staying as close to the AC as possible. Aside from spending hours reading The Fashion Spot, we head straight to one of our favorite sources of endless inspiration, Pinterest, to see what other types of indoor activities with which we could engage.
With surprisingly simple tutorials for everything from reworked drinkware to surprising uses for plastic cutlery, we've rounded up 10 of the images that are most inspiring us to put down the TV remote (or step away from the keyboard) and pick up a glue gun. Read on for our picks and let us know which ones are encouraging you to get in touch with your more-handy side!

One of the surest signs that it's time to switch to a new bank comes when you examine your monthly statement and see a lot of unnecessary fees.
About a decade and a half ago, I was a customer of a large bank chain (Firstar) that was later swallowed up by an even larger bank chain (US Bank). Firstar had locations that were really convenient for me at the time, so I used them as my primary bank.
During the year or two before they were absorbed by US Bank, I noticed that there were fees popping up all over the place. A maintenance fee appeared and a minimum balance began to be applied to my checking account.
At the time, I thought this was normal. What I should have done, though, is taken my business a few blocks away to a smaller bank chain that wasn't introducing such money-siphoning fees into their accounts. I did eventually do that, but it wasn't until after Firstar had absorbed far more of my money than they ever should have.
"Monthly" fees. Check cashing fees. Account "maintenance" fees. Minimum balance fees. These are just four of the most common fees that I've seen or heard about from readers. Banks are constantly looking for creative ways to get a few more bucks in their pocket, and one way to do that is to constantly ding their customers with small fees charged for extremely questionable reasons.
Just $3 in fees a month adds up to $36 per year. Three years of this and you're talking well over $100, particularly when you consider that money could be earning interest on your behalf.
This is basically a rip-off. They're taking your money for no good reason, particularly when there are many banks out there that charge no such fees. Thankfully, there are a few things you can do to keep those fees out of your account.
The first step is to check your monthly bank statement. For many of you, that means using online banking and examining the transactions over the last few months as well as the statements found there. There are no monthly fees that should be acceptable on your normal checking or savings account.
If you find any fees, call your bank. Have your statement in front of you when you call them so you can refer to specifics.
When you call, be polite and calm. First, ask why these fees were applied to your account in the past month, then ask to have them waived. If the bank refuses to do so, ask if they have any account offerings that do not include these fees.
Politeness and calmness will get you much further than anger and passive-aggressiveness on the phone. Most of the time, you're talking to a customer service representative that has heard a lot of anger today and isn't getting paid well for the punishment they receive. They're not exactly going to want to go the extra mile for people who react with anger.
If your bank won't budge on the fees, it's time to start seeking out another bank. Unless they are offering features that make up for the fees – and these features would have to be tremendous – these fees are costing you.
One thing I've noticed is that the bigger the bank, the more likely they are to sneak in such fees. This isn't an exact rule, but I've found that the giant banks seem to be the ones that most commonly stick fees onto their accounts. I did a brief survey of some of my friends just to find out if they had found any fees on their accounts, and the ones who had found fees were universally customers of very large banks.
This post is part of a yearlong series called "365 Ways to Live Cheap (Revisited)," in which I'm revisiting the entries from my book "365 Ways to Live Cheap," which is available at Amazon and at bookstores everywhere.

Rockland Immunochemicals
RIPA (Radio-Immunoprecipitation Assay) Lysis Buffer enables rapid, efficient cell lysis and solubilization of proteins from both adherent and suspension cultured mammalian cells. It has long been a widely used lysis and wash buffer for small-scale affinity pull-down applications, such as immunoprecipitation, since most antibodies and protein antigens are not adversely affected by the components of this buffer. In addition, RIPA Lysis Buffer minimizes non-specific protein-binding interactions to keep background low, while allowing most specific interactions to occur, enabling studies of relevant protein-protein interactions. The following RIPA Lysis Buffer components have the following effects: Tris-HCl is a buffering agent prevents protein denaturation, NaCl is a salt that prevents non-specific protein aggregation, NP-40 is a non-ionic detergent to extract proteins; Na-deoxycholate and SDS are ionic detergents to extract proteins; and sodium azide is a bacteriostatic agent added to retard bacterial growth. RIPA Lysis Buffer is supplied as a ready-to-use solution that requires no preparation. We suggest that the user add protease and phosphatase inhibitors not included with this product prior to use.

The Indiana Patriot Guard Riders was formed to honor the military and to have accountability in conducting our finances. Although there are other organizations similar to us that have similar Mission Statements, we focus on those that are Hoosiers but would never turn our backs on any veteran or military person regardless of locale.
The Indiana Patriot Guard Riders, Inc. is a diverse group of citizens from across the State of Indiana. We have one thing in common, an unwavering respect for those who risk their very lives for America's freedom and security. If you share this respect, please join us.
We don't care what your political views are, or whether you're a hawk or a dove. It is not a requirement that you be a veteran. It doesn't matter what part of the state you're from or what your income is; you don't even have to ride a motorcycle. The only prerequisite is Respect.
Our main mission is to attend the funeral services of fallen American heroes as invited guests of the family.
Our priority and main mission objective is:
Show our sincere respect for our fallen heroes and veterans, their families, and their communities.
We also do when required:
Shield the mourning family and their friends from interruptions created by any protestor or group of protestors.
We accomplish all that we do through strictly legal and non-violent means.
To those of you who are currently serving at home and abroad, please know that we are backing you. We honor and support you with every mission we carry out, and we are praying for a safe return home for all.
An invitation from a family member for us to attend must be presented through an authorized Ride Captain of the Indiana Patriot Guard Riders.
You don't have to be a bike rider or even a veteran to join our group - You only have to have Respect for those that wear the uniform. We have many non-veterans and non-bikers within our ranks. Join US!!
The Indiana Patriot Guard Riders, Inc. was incorporated in October 2006 in the State of Indiana as a non-profit. We incorporated simply to make the Indiana Patriot Guard Riders accountable for the money that was donated and raised through various non-profit means. We now have a Board of Directors that has oversight of the money that is deposited into the Indiana Patriot Guard Riders, Inc. bank account.
We simply wish to spread the word about the military and the sacrifices that these men and women do for us on a daily basis. Our efforts are not about the present or any future war but about a man and/or woman that puts on the uniform and does their job and usually without much pay or recognition. Until the world realizes that co-existence and peace is the best policy our military will stand proud and tall and do what the Government instructs it to do. Our stance is that we support the military and whether you support the war or are against it is not relevant to our Mission of Honor and Respect to the man and woman who wears the uniform.
All money that comes to the Indiana PGR is deposited into the non-profit checking account of the IPGR. There is an oversight committee that monitors the money. All money goes towards helping the military, veterans, their families and to purchase items that the PGR uses (i.e. flags, plaques, etc.). NO IPGR member gets a dime except to reimburse them for out of pocket expenses that they spent for a IPGR qualified transaction (refer to above) and that requires a receipt and approval.

Melbourne, AU – 15 July, 2017 – PotCoin is a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency which aims to become the standard form of payment for the legalized cannabis industry. PotCoin was designed to empower, secure, and facilitate the legal cannabis community's transactions by creating a unique cryptocurrency for the industry. Businesses, like Medical Marijuana Services Australia (MMS Australia), have started to form strategic partnerships with the digital currency platform to assist their consumers in the near future.
PotCoin removes the need for cash transactions and encourages buying through consumer incentives. It is an alternative payment network for cannabis users, merchants, and industry professionals. The PotCoin network allows medical cannabis patients and providers to interact, transact, communicate, and grow together.
With the rise of "cryptocurrency" like Bitcoin, PotCoin aims to cater to the medical marijuana community for online transactions. Its value is currently set at $0.098 USD, has a market cap of $21.44 million, and ranks 104 on the Coin Market Cap's CryptoCurrency Market Capitalizations ranking system with a circulating supply of over 217 million.
Recently, the Federal Government passed legislation legalising the cultivation of medical marijuana and it is expected that the industry will continue to grow rapidly over time. MMS Australia's partnership with PotCoin is expected to assist patients with medical marijuana purchases through their site as well as raise the value of the PotCoin on the crypto currency market.
Review Where Medical Marijuana is Legal in Australia: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-02-22/who-can-get-medicinal-marijuana-now-that-its-for-sale/8292498
PotCoin continues to negotiate with licenced producers and online medical marijuana providers to assist with consumer transactions. It's reward system is beneficial for patients, producers, doctors, and everyone involved in the industry.
About Medical Marijuana Services Australia:
MMS Australia was established in March 2016 as a patient navigation service to help applicants obtain medical marijuana under Australia's new Cannabis Laws. The organization was launched following the success of MMS Canada, which was founded in November 2013. MMS Australia believes that every patient that requires medical marijuana deserves equal and safe access to effective treatment, working closely with members and doctors to develop long-term health goals, education, and improving the quality of life for their patients. MMS Australia provides doctor assessments, private consultations, and remote area coverage.

Jack Tramiel passed away earlier this year. If the name doesn't ring a bell, then you might know him as the man who helped revolutionize the computer industry, ushering in the Commodore 64 into millions of homes. In the wake of his passing, Tramiel's own house is now on the market for a whopping 11.9 million.
All that cash gets you a neoclassical home that sits on 1.27 acres in Moreno Valley, California, with a giant pool, fully equipped guest house, wine cellar and oodles of expensive-looking marble all over the place. The estate was built in 1992, and likely came after Tramiel's dealings with both Commodore and Atari had truckloads of cash coming in on a daily basis. It's more square footage than Dan Houser's big-bank purchase of Truman Capote's Brooklyn home but isn't quite as literally significant. You can take a gander at the Tramiel estate here.

State delegates and senators constitute the state's legislative branch. They draw up the state's budget and pass bills, which must be signed by the governor before they become law. Legislative sessions start in January and last 30 days in odd years and 60 days in even years.
The General Assembly was first convened in Jamestown in 1619, making Virginia's legislature the oldest continuous law-making body in the world.
Each of the 100 members of the House of Delegates represents approximately 71,000 citizens and is paid an annual salary of $17,640. The 40 state senators represent roughly 176,000 citizens and are paid a salary of $18,000.
Every General Assembly seat is up for election in November. To find out who represents you or to track legislation, go to the General Assembly's Web page at http://legis.state.va.us.
<lst>Sen. Mark Herring (D-33): Herring was elected to the Senate of Virginia in January 2006 in a special election. In 1999, Herring was elected to the Loudoun Board of Supervisors representing the Leesburg district. In the Senate he serves on the General Laws and Technology, Local Government and Rehabilitation and Social Services committees. Herring is running for a second term in office and will face Republican nominee Patricia Phillips in November.
Del. Robert Marshall (R-13): Marshall was re-elected to the 13th district in 2005. He has been a member of the Virginia House of Delegates since 1992.

Ok, I can't be the only one wondering if these Google/Yahoo[Bot]'s are either real people or actual...bots. Bob, what are they and what is the purpose of having them on the site? Am I missing something here....? Thanks to anyone who responds with more technical terminology than my vocabulary allows lol.
Sorry if this question was already addressed. Did not see anything here and not sure what to search for.

Re: [Bot]'s.... What do they do?
The Google, yahoo and other bots are not real people. These are the spiders/crawlers/bots that search engines use to get the content of various websites. Since website content changes often (especially on a forum), they will visit the sites quite often and store all of the content quite often, visiting many times a day. These are just software programs running in hugs server farms to pull down all of this data. This is what allows results from the site to show up on search engine pages when searching for something related to the content on here.
Hope this clears this up!

We offer customized solutions to fit your requirements
How do I mount my panel landscape on a tile roof?
If you want your rails to run from the gutter to the top of the roof and have your panels installed landscape, you just need to use our "ER-I-23", landscape tile interface.
My roof is facing east west, how can I tilt my panels to the north?
To tilt the panels to the north on an East or West facing tin roof, we suggest running a MT rail from top to bottom, fixing it to the rafters. Then just mount the tilt legs to the MT rails using diamond modules and bolts. Alternatively you can use (if the required spacing or less can be applied) the corrugated adapter and fix the adjustable tilt legs on top of them.
MT-Rail (ER-R-MT)
Corrugated adapter (ER-AD-C110)
Example: East/West Roof
I would like to extend my installation on my South facing roof, do you have a solution?
To do that you just need to use our adjustable tilt legs 30 to 60 degree. This will allow you to tilt the panels to the north.
I need to install some tilt legs on a Klip Lok (Ultra Deck) roof. There is no screw to help me located the purlins, how should I mount them to the roof?
You just need to use our Klip Lok (non-penetration) interface. This interface just clips on the top of the klip lok and doesn't need any penetration. Then just fix the tilt legs in the mounting holes.
I would like to install the panels very close to the edges and ridges of the roof, which spacing should I use?
When you install very close to the roof edges and ridges, the wind load applied to the panels are bigger. So you need to reduce the spacing. In the installation guide, you need to follow the spacing for "up wind, down wind".
What interface do I use for a slate roof, do you have tile bracket to use on this roof?
Yes we do. The product code is ER-I-04.
I am using thin film frameless module, do you have a solution to mount them to the roof?
SolarRoof is also available for thin film frameless panels. You can have a look to this product on our website or on the catalogue.
I would like to use as many roof space as possible, how should I calculate the spacing between my rows to avoid shadow?
Clenergy has designed a calculator to help you determine the minimum spacing require between the rows when using our adjustable tilt legs our SolarTerrace products.
I need to install some tiles interface on metal rafters? What should I do?
You just need to make sure than the metal is more than 1mm thick. However make sure you use screw with at least 14TPI (thread up to the head) or RoofZip.
What is portrait and landscape?
This refers to the module orientation. In a portrait orientation the longest dimension of the modules is mounted north-south (vertically). In a landscape orientation the longest dimension of the modules is mounted east-west (horizontally).
What is the best tilt for my location?
In short, this depends on your latitude installation site. In general, year-round loads require a tilt angle equivalent to the latitude, winter loads equivalent to latitude plus 15 degrees, and summer loads equivalent to latitude minus 15 degrees.
How do I determine the wind load?
Australia is split in 4 different wind regions named A, B, C and D. You can find the wind map our installation guide or calculator.
Why do you have 2 different spacing for 2 different areas on the roof?
When you install very close to the roof edges and ridges (up-wind, downwind), the wind load applied to the panels are bigger. In fact, the wind blowing against the wall is then going up directly on the panels. So you need to reduce the spacing. That's why there is two different spacing for the two different areas on the roof.
What solution do you offer to ground/earth the panels?
See PV-ezRack grounding lugs and clamps under accessories.
How far can your rails span between attachments?
The span depends on the interface you use, the wind region, the height of the building and the area on the roof where you plan to install.
You can find the relevant summary tables in our installation manual.
Quality, Certification and Accreditation
What is the anodizing on the rails? I am worried because I am installing close to the sea.
Clenergy PV-ezRack rails come with a 10 microns anodizing as a standard. The aluminum we use AL6005-T5. If you want a thicker anodizing please contact us.
What are the material and the grade that you use for the tile interface?
All our tile interfaces are in Stainless steel SUS304 with a sand blasting finish.
Is your product accredited in Australia?
SolarRoof is accredited, based on the latest AS/NZS1170, for Australia up to region D. In other terms, you can install SolarRoof everywhere in Australia, following our installation guide. If you require a copy of the accreditation letter feel free to contact us.
What is standard warranty on your racking system?
Every Clenergy racking system (PV-ezRack) comes with a standard 10 years warranty.
Are you included on "the deemed to comply" to be used in Northern Territory?
Is SolarRoof accredited for other countries?
Clenergy has sold products to over 17 countries. SolarRoof is accredited to be used in Europe, USA, Australia, China, Japan and many more.
What type of certification and testing Clenergy SolarRoof has?
Clenergy PV-ezRack SolarRoof has been accredited for Australia based on the latest AS1170.2. It has also been tested by TUV and RAL in Germany.
Logistic and Ordering
What size of clamps do you have?
Clenergy offers a full range of clamps for every size of panels. 28, 30,
32, 35, 38, 40, 42, 46, 48, 50, 57 mm clamps are in stock in Australia.
Are your kits of interface including the screws?
Yes, all the Clenergy interfaces kits include screws that you can use when installing the products.
What is the typical lead time?
Clenergy hold around 10MW of racking system in Melbourne. We can deliver all around Australia within a week.
How much will shipping cost?
The cost of shipping depends on the size of the order, and where it's shipped to.
How do I buy your racking systems?
Clenergy is the manufacturer and importer of the products. If you want to buy our products you will have to contact one of our distributors. Clenergy partners with high quality distributors all around Australia. To know your closest distributor, contact our office.
How are the parts of Clenergy's SolarRoof products packed?
As we are the manufacturer, we don't sell the product as a 1.5 or 2 kW. All our products are sold by pack. The clamps come in pack of 100, the interface 12 (for tile) and 40 for tin. All our cartons and packs are labeled with the product code and description of the pack.
The rails are always sold by pair.
What kind of information do you need to be bale quote me for a customized solution or a project?
If you need assistance with a special project, Clenergy can help you in the design. We will need some information about the location of the project, the layout of the roof and size of the panels you want to use. Our Calculator might help you as well to determine the bill of material.
Can I buy your product directly from China?
Clenergy offers a FOB option for our major partners. Please contact your sales representative for more information.
Tile roof: What should I do if the wood of the rafter is a hard wood and the screws would split it?
You need to use 2 screws (6x80mm) minimum going in to the rafter. If necessary pre-drill the rafter with a 4mm drill.
ezRack end clamp function
The end clamps need to be tilted in order to grab down the edge of the panel or be maximum at 90 degrees. The lip must be always against the rail, and can't hang over, otherwise it doesn't have enough strength to hold down the panels.
Mounting on Klip Lok roofs with penetration.
You can use the MT-Rail on Klip Lok or similar roofs as a base rail. To mount the MT-rail use the same amount of screws attached to Diamond Modules as you would normally use for the interface kits if you were to mount these directly to the roof.
Is the atmosphere near the sea considered to be corrosive?
The warranty for ezRack Solar Roof products includes the condition:
"All installations in corrosive atmospheric conditions are excluded."
The atmosphere near the sea is not considered to be corrosive for the purposes of this warranty.
Galvanic corrosion
Galvanic corrosion appears btw two different materials with different electrode /galvanic potentials.
Connection btw TL30 and corrugated roof
Zink plated steel (roofing sheets) and stainless steel are different materials with the same potentials therefore there is no need for rubber pads
Connection btw ER-I-05 and corrugated roof
In this case we have different materials with different potentials therefore rubber pads are required
Connection btw ER-I-01 and anodised ezRack rail.
Here we have different materials but simiral galvanic potential, therefore no rubber pads needed
Installation times
Installation times for 2 workers for a 1,5 kW system (just racking and panels)

Tin roof L-feet:
Tin roof tilt legs:
Rust on stainless steel
Stainless does not "rust" as you think of regular steel rusting with a red oxide on the surface that flakes off. If you see red rust it is probably due to some iron particles that have contaminated the surface of the stainless steel and it is these iron particles that are rusting. Look at the source of the rusting and see if you can remove it from the surface. If the iron is embedded in the surface, you can try a solution of 10% nitric and 2% hydrofluoric acid at room temperature or slightly heated. Wash area well with lots of water after use. Commercially available "pickling paste" can also be used.
Quoted from
Minimum thread per inch of screws for wood and for metal purlins
For wood purlins/rafters the screws must have at least 10 threads per inch
For steel purlins/rafters the screws must have at least 14 threads per inch (or Roof zip)
Maximum and recommended torque of the M8 bolts (clamps, Z-modules)
The recommended torque on our bolts is 15-20Nm
The maximum torque is 25Nm
If tilt legs need to be installed in the valley of the profile what can installer use to seal to make the system waterproof?
Installers can use Silicon however Sikaflex is recommended which is more durable
Should I reduce the spacing if I install on a top of the hill
The Topographical Multiplier in AS/NZS1170.2 (Mt) is mostly relevant for sites in New Zealand and Tasmania over 500m above sea level. Mt is taken as 1.0 in most places in Australia. The code states for sites where the slope of the land is less than 1 in 10, Mt = 1.0. If the slope is greater than this then Mt can be calculated but you will find the multiplier effect for most site is Australia is negligible. For example, I did a quick check on the site listed below and Mt = 1.0006, which we would consider to be close enough to 1.0.

Portsmouth Herald, Sunday, February 20, 2005
[The following article is courtesy of The Portsmouth Herald and Seacoast Online.]
was among a series of pictures she
reportedly gave to her teenage lover,
Billy Flynn. [AP file photo]
Pamela Smart granted permission for this interview, urging the Herald to arrive as a visitor to avoid the prison's lengthy process for admitting media. No paper or pen was allowed and the interview was written from memory.
Pam Smart is seated at table number 13 in the visitor's area of New York's Bedford Hills Correctional Facility. She's wearing coral lipstick, purple nail polish and her blonde hair curled inward along her face - a departure from her trademark ringlets.
Here, during a 2½ hour conversation, one of the world's most infamous inmates describes being hopeless, remorseful, victimized, medicated, adapted to prison and sometimes suicidal. She talks about regrets, how Hollywood and the media have portrayed her, Victoria's Secret shipments and prison food, in addition to her sexuality and legacy.
Outside, miles of silver razor wire coil around the maximum security women's prison, while inside, the visitor's area is decorated with paper Valentine's Day decorations - the kind one would find in a grammar school - still taped to prison walls on Feb. 17.
Since filing for commutation of her life-without-parole sentence for orchestrating the 1991 murder of her husband, Gregg, Smart's voluminous incoming mail has swelled to include renewed interest from a list of media outlets, all looking for fresh interviews with the woman dubbed "The Ice Princess." Smart says that includes "Primetime Live's" Diane Sawyer, who arrived at the prison by black limousine and bearing flowers in her own effort to get Smart.
Meanwhile, Smart's lawyers are urging her to talk publicly about the fact she's serving life without parole for being an accomplice to first-degree murder, while the confessed murderer, Billy Flynn, will get out of jail at or before the expiration of his 40-year sentence.
The publicity could help her commutation case, they figure. But with the exception of the Herald, Smart has declined those interview requests.
She's sick of her own story, she says, adding, "They hate me in New Hampshire."
Smart talk
Just 5-foot-1-inch and slim, Smart's presence is dwarfed by her colossal notoriety.
Fifteen years older than when she was sentenced at the age of 23, Smart's blue-gray eyes now become framed with crow's feet when she smiles. Her skin is pale and her appearance slightly altered by the surgical implant of a steel plate in the left side of her face following an assault by two inmates.
In conversation, the word "yo" occasionally slips into her sentences, an indicator that her New Hampshire roots have become influenced by New York street vernacular.
Bedford Hills allows inmates to wear their own clothes, which for Smart on Thursday means a cream turtleneck, with brown slacks and boots. Around her neck, she wears a gold chain with a nautical interpretation of a crucifix - the cross fashioned from an anchor and accented by a ship's wheel.
The only woman in Bedford Hills serving life without parole, Smart's official release date is cited on prison records as the year 9999. She says that's because it's the latest date available in the prison's computer system.
She says that, and the fact she's exhausted all legal opportunity for appeal, gives her no hope of ever being freed.
A commutation would mean she'd be freed with time served, or another form of reduced sentence, including parole. But she says the commutation request is largely the effort of her mother, Linda Wojas, who has made her daughter's fate her own life's work.
And because of that, Smart says she's considered suicide, several times, so her mother could bury her and have her own life back.
Asked what she misses, it's family Smart cites first, followed by traveling, driving a car, then answering a telephone. She also mentions always wanting a daughter and, at 38, knowing it remains a physical possibility.
The prison allows conjugal visits between married inmates and spouses, and Smart has received mailed marriage proposals. But she says she's never seriously considered them, knowing any letters she writes, or conversations she has, might be sold to newspapers.
Sex with prison guards is the way she says she could conceive a child, insisting that's been a real option since transferring to the New York prison from Goffstown, N.H., 12 years ago.
But she's decided against it, she says, because after one year in a prison nursery, the baby would have to live with her already overburdened mother. Besides, she says, "there's no room in my head right now" for sexual relationships.
What is in her head is a back-and-forth battle between resignation to her fate and a fight to flee.
Some days she continues a personal mental battle, telling herself not to care about the little rewards prison offers, like packages from home, "trailer time" in on-site private motor homes with loved ones over certain weekends, or her former role as a teacher to other inmates. Convincing herself she doesn't care about these things leaves no room for pain if they're taken away as punishment, she says.
Other days, Smart digs out paperwork and writes letters in an effort to free herself.
Meanwhile, she resists the label "model prisoner," attached to her name in news stories about the dual master's degrees she's earned behind bars - one in literature, the other in law. She says living among criminals has also taught her how to commit a host of crimes.
"I'm not a model prisoner," she says, explaining she's had scrapes with other inmates and isn't adverse to telling a guard to F- off.
"I have nothing to lose," she says.
Smart talesSmart bristles at common descriptions and portrayals of her.
First, she was never a teacher, she says, noting her role as media coordinator for Winnacunnet High School and other area schools was not a teaching position.
She cares because not being a teacher makes her less culpable. Also because news stories about teachers gone bad, including renewed interest in Mary Kay Letourneau (a teacher imprisoned for her affair with a teen student), often include the Smart story.
As for the Ice Princess title, Smart describes herself as emotional and prone to being weepy.
I cry for humanity, she says, not for myself.
And if she seems icy today, it could be the prescribed medication she takes to control anxiety caused by a constant awareness of her infinite incarceration. Or perhaps it's a hardness that's seeped into her persona from living with New York's worst female criminals, some of whom she's had to fend off, others who've become trusted friends.
Smart also talks about portrayals of her as being "so smart," in manipulating her teenage lover and his friends to kill her husband. If she were so smart and had planned the murder, she says, it wouldn't have involved teenagers.
And she still denies involvement in the murder plot, but she says she regrets her admitted affair with Bill Flynn, the confessed trigger man, who wasn't old enough for a driver's license at the time.
She says before she began having sex with Flynn, her ego was shattered by her husband's infidelity, that she was flattered by Flynn's attention and battled conflicting feelings of knowing it was wrong and wanting to feel good.
Flynn's admission to being a virgin before his involvement with her was news she learned during the murder trial, she says. And she still believes he didn't commit the murder, but took the fall for one of the others he enlisted for the murder.
Flynn's accomplice Raymond Fowler has a Web site that says he's under a gag order preventing him from talking about the case. But it also says that if he'd been allowed to testify during Smart's trial, his version of the facts "would have raised serious questions in the case the prosecution had built against Pam Smart, making 'guilt beyond a reasonable doubt' very difficult to prove."
Smart time
Inmate Smart has things she's thankful for.
She's allowed to provide her own bedding, as long as it's a solid color. A curtain offers privacy and a throw rug warmth.
She wears her own clothes and 14K jewelry, and her pajamas and undergarments often come through the mail from Victoria's Secret. She wears these inside her private cell, where she has a window overlooking the prison ball field and can be opened for fresh air at her whim.
She orders groceries monthly and shares a kitchen with inmates who cook their own meals and often swap a can of this for a half-pound of that.
Recently transferred from her inmate tutoring job to working and living with the prison's mentally ill population, Smart says she likes her new role. This includes reminding one woman to take a shower and instructing her to wash under her arms. For another, prone to using her month's food supplies in days, Smart rations the items.
She's learned what behaviors aggravate their individual illnesses and says she's found unconditional love from some who have no idea who she was before she went to jail.
Like most populations, says Smart, prison inmates and guards treat her in varied ways. Some feel sorry for her, while others look to confront her, just because she's Pam Smart.
Meanwhile, her commutation request will be decided by New Hampshire Gov. John Lynch and the governor's Executive Council.
Lynch spokesman Pamela Walsh said the governor has not seen the request, currently with the state attorney general's office, "so he feels it's premature to comment."
The five executive councilors - Ray Burton, Peter Spaulding, Ruth Griffin, Ray Wieczorek and Debora Pignatelli - were all asked for comment via e-mail and through links from their own Web site. Not one responded over several days.
At noon Thursday, Smart says she needs to end the interview to receive her medication. She offers directions to the nearest rest room, then the exit route for her visitor to leave the jail that confines her.
"Go down the hall and keep going," she says.

June marks the conclusion of the college athletics calendar, and July's arrival effectively signals the beginning of the 2013-14 season, at least for those of us in the biz, anyway. It all makes this week a good time to reflect back on the year that was in VCU Athletics.
A – is for Atlantic 10 Conference, in which, according to our slogan, the Rams were 'all-in'. We were also all-in for another season of "Arrested Development" and Pop Tart ice cream sandwiches, so we're having a good year. VCU competed in the A-10 for the first time in 2012-13, a move that has elevated the program's national profile. The Rams' first A-10 title came via the women's tennis squad, followed by a men's tennis crown days later. Meanwhile, several other sports (men's basketball, women's soccer, men's soccer) reached the league's championship final.
B – is for the Ball family, one of the driving forces behind the VCU Golf program. They're like the Kennedy's of VCU Golf, but with a better short game. Matt Ball may have just completed his 14th season with the Rams, but this one was surely different than the others. That's because 40 percent of his starting lineup was occupied by sons Adam and Matt Jr. Son Adam, a freshman, led the Rams in scoring average (73.53) this year, while Matt Jr., a junior, placed seventh at the A-10 Championship and was named to the league's All-Academic Team.
C – is for Courtney Conrad, the alliteratively named star of the women's soccer team. Conrad led the Rams with 11 goals, including five game-winners, and received All-Mid-Atlantic by the NSCAA.
D – is for Daniels, Troy. If you are a fan of basketball players who score three points at a time (and the signed, obscure Mark Price picture in my dining room proves I am), then you would've enjoyed Daniels' 2012-13 season. In 36 games, Daniels bombed a school-record 124 three-pointers, including games of 11, nine and eight.

John Wall threw a punch at Zydrunas Ilgauskas and was ejected in the middle of the second half. What the hell was he swinging at Big Z for anyway? Ilgauskas is big. Says so right in his nickname. And he feels no pain. Says so right in his Lithuanian heritage! Wall's the starting PG in my fantasy basketball bloggers league, of which this week is the championship game. Imagine how ecstatic I am that Wall not only missed more than half of last night's game, but will likely miss D.C.'s next contest? Forget it, I'll just tell you (that shoe/sock combination you've got going tells me your imagination is lacking) – I'm 0 percent ecstatic.
Here's what else I saw in a 13-game Wednesday night in fantasy basketball.
Jordan Crawford – 39/3/4, with five turnovers and five threes. Or to put it another way, neither Wall nor Nick Young are likely to be in the Wizards' next game against the Cavs. Or to put it yet another way, the three games after that are against the Bobcats, Pacers and Pistons. I'm running out of ways to put it.
Maurice Evans – 21/5, with three threes. Recall what I wrote about Crawford and apply it to Evans. Do it now!
Nick Young – Still bruised. I'm not sure if I'm talking about Young or Wiz fans.
Andray Blatche – Returned after missing the last 10 games to go 14/8/2, with three steals. I bid Yi farewell.
Deron Williams – Also returned after missing a few games with an injured wrist and ended with a solid 22/8/8. He didn't look great, but more importantly, he didn't look bad. Well, I mean. He always looks kinda bad, right? 'Cause of that chinstrap beard and his paint-on hair? But I mean, his skills. He didn't look unhealthy. Assuming he doesn't have any backlash from last night's game, he'll be back tomorrow. And assuming I don't have any backlash from this here joshing on Williams, I'll be back for good tomorrow too.
Kevin Love – Run on players returning from injury! Love led his team in points and rebounds with a 16/9 line. Considering he's a little rusty and his team was playing the Bulls, I'll take this and ask for seconds. Like Williams, assuming there are no physical repercussions today, feel free to put a little Love in your heart (and roster).
Kyle Lowry – 19/3/3, with three steals and a pair of blocks. I haven't loved Lowry's FG% lately and one would hope for more assists in a full game than John Wall earned in 15 minutes, but that's me picking nits. Anytime you get five stls+blks from your PG, it's either a good thing or he was playing out of position all game and is almost certainly going to be benched the next time out.
Thaddeus Young – The guy Charles Barkley said was the best Sixer currently on the roster went 22/9 in 33 minutes against the Rockets. He's gone at least 15/6 in five of his last six. He's been consistent lately, but wildly inconsistent all season. I'd lay off unless you're desperate. The one bad game in his last six was baaaaaaad. 4/1 bad.
Drew Gooden – 22/11, with one steal, assist and block each. The Bucks play Friday and again on Saturday. I know I told you a couple days ago to avoid owning Bucks at all costs. I told you that because they all seem to have great games one night and then crotch-slap you the next. Remember that when you rush to your waiver wire. Also, remember that Milwaukee was playing the Craptors. Also2 : Also Harder, Gooden went 2/8/0 just three nights ago.
Jose Calderon – Joe Kettle played 26 minutes before leaving with a hamstring injury and calling it quits for the night, or as I call it "Kettle Cooked."
Stephen Jackson – Left the game after 15 minutes with that bad hammy and never returned. Just as John Wall took that swing on Z in D.C., Jackson's hamstring snapped like stressed fishing line in North Carolina at the exact same moment, forcing Wall and Jack to magically switch bodies. Until they figure out a way of this mess I'd look elsewhere for production until the weekend … or longer. Also, you just know Jackson's going to take a gun or two out in public while he's in someone else's body.
Boris Diaw – Double-doubled for the fifth time this season with a 26/7/11 line. Meh. Kudos if you played him, but I think I'd rather take my chances with another case. That's how you play Diaw Or No Diaw, Howie.
Josh McRoberts – 15/13/2, with a pair of blocks. Doc McBob didn't earn all these stats in garbage time, but a fair amount were. It's possible that Vogel gives a few of the struggling Tyler Hansbrough's minutes to Roberts, but I wouldn't count on it. Like the coke at a tranny party, you'd be better off ignoring this line.
Mike Dunleavy – Returned after a long shelf stint to go 9/2/2. If you're into it, be into it.
Tracy McGrady – 2/1/0 in 12 minutes as T-Mac's back wasn't as supportive as it should be. Speaking of not being supportive, it's time to dump him if you haven't already. Stuckey's producing (24/7/9) and took most of McGrady's minutes last night.
Hedo Turkoglu – I have to admit, Hed's playing much better than I thought he would. In his last seven he's averaging 3.1 3ptm/16.1 pts/5.4 rbd/6.9 ast. You'll take that. I won't, because the minute I plug him into my lineup he's going to poo the bed. But you? You go right on ahead.
Jason Richardson – Shot 1-for-7 from the field last night and finished with three points. He's averaged .537 from the field in the first six games of this month. In the last nine since then, he's averaged .383. Keep playing like a Buck, Richardson, you'll get traded like one.
Stephen Curry – Fewer than 24 hours before last night's game, Curry went 35/6/5 and I said, "I'm only 62 percent sure that this validates his status as a premiere point guard." Cool beans, Yesterday Adam. For what it's worth, I'm 100 percent sure that last night's 6/6/9, with six turnover line doesn't validate this status.
Wesley Matthews – Shot 3-for-7 with 7 points. In his last seven games Matthews has scored 28, 0, 15, 15, 4, 19 and 7. If you've started him in the last two weeks you've discovered Matthews' inefficient bastard of a brother, Distressly Matthews.
Carl Landry – Since replacing David West in the hearts of Louisianans everywhere, Hot Carl has averaged 21.3/7.3. Between his success in Houston and his sudden run in N'Awlins, I'm guessing his secret is crawfish.
Ty Lawson – He's shooting .614 from the floor in his last four games. Speed clearly trumps height here. If Lawson had a team all to himself, just imagine. Ah well. If "ifs" and "buts" were candy and nuts we'd all have … something 'er other. Let's assume "we'd all have Ty Lawson on our fantasy teams."

NEW ORLEANS (AP) Kobe Bryant scored 29 points, making him the fifth player in NBA history to score 30,000, and the Los Angeles Lakers snapped a two-game skid with a 103-87 victory over the New Orleans Hornets on Wednesday night.
Bryant entered the game needing only 13 points to eclipse the scoring milestone and did so with a short jumper late in the first half that was perhaps the least spectacular of his baskets, which included the usual array of soaring dunks, demoralizing transition 3-pointers and turnaround, off-balance jumpers.
Dwight Howard added 18 points for the Lakers, who trailed by a point at halftime but seized control with a 13-0 run to open the third quarter, and the lead grew as large as 20.
Ryan Anderson scored 31, hitting 5 of 8 3-pointers. Greivis Vasquez added 16 points.

Annals of cheap: Garigari-kun
It's been a relatively cool summer overall, and while the temperatures have had something to do with the drop in sales of beer (or "beer-like" beverages) and air conditioners, it doesn't seem to have had much of an adverse effect on Japan's favorite packaged frozen snack, Garigari-kun, which added a few new flavors this past season.
Garigari-kun is classified as "bo (stick or bar) ice candy," which means it has a lot of competition. Ice candy is more popular in Japan than ice cream owing to its associations with the traditional summer treat kakigori (shaved ice), and if you look in your local convenience store freezer you'll find a large and confusing array of ice candy, both bar and cup types, that seem interchangeable. But Garigari-kun always outsells them all by a huge margin, and one of the reasons is the price: only ¥60. The Sankei-Fuji website says that the dairy company Akagi Nyugyo sold 255 million Garigari-kun bars in 2008.

Marc Jacobs has collaborated with footwear purveyor Stubbs & Wootton, a favorite amongst the preppy set, on a line of slippers featuring Jacobs' signature "stinky rat" logo.
Jacobs' cheeky, devil-may-care attitude and whimsical aesthetic adds the perfect dose of irreverence to the blue-blooded brand. In any other incarnation, fashion folks would very likely be turned off at the sight of vermin, but Jacobs' particularly recognizable icon is likely to be this summer's skull and bones—expect to an infestation out on the Vineyard next summer.
The slippers, available next week both online at Marc Jacobs' newly-launched e-commerce site, as well as local Marc Jacobs stores in six colors for $495 a pair.

Students and alumni blog about service work in Africa
October 21, 2010
Nicole Pampanin '11 found her calling in Ghana. The sociology/anthropology major has spent the past three summers in Gbi-Wegbe, Ghana, volunteering at an orphanage, learning the local language, and building ties within the community.
Her experiences in Ghana, and her devotion to the people she has met there, inspired her to found The Ghana Project, a nonprofit organization aimed at raising money for the orphanage through the sale of Ghanaian fabric crafts. Pampanin also maintains a blog on The Ghana Project website, where she writes about her experiences in Africa and reflects on cultural differences and similarities.
"I learned so much more about the Ghanaian lifestyle," she wrote after returning last summer. "I realized that I have the potential to continue to make great things happen for the community in Ghana that I care about so much and other communities that I hope to be able to help in the future. And most of all, I learned once again to appreciate life and live every moment to the fullest."
Pampanin plans to move to Ghana after graduation. She will join a corps of dedicated alumni who are taking their passion to make a difference to the farthest reaches of the world and writing about their successes and hardships along the way.
Learn more about some of these alumni and find links to their blogs below.
Miel Hendrickson BA '99: Relieving suffering in West Africa
Hendrickson is regional coordinator for International Medical Corps in West Africa, where she works on international relief and development projects. Recently, Hendrickson spoke to international media about her team's treatment of more than 200 women who were raped in rebel attacks in Eastern Congo. Listen to her interview with NPR.
On her blog, Vicarious Nomad, Hendrickson reflected on recent events in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and her goal of raising awareness of sexual violence around the world.
"Rape anywhere is not an easy subject to talk about, but certainly not on the scale we see here. I remember learning about the issue back in early 2004 from a Congolese friend in D.C. I was appalled that the world wasn't up in arms about such horrific rapes occurring, and that I hadn't heard of the details earlier. Now I'm glad to have the opportunity to learn firsthand and share with friends, family, and the rest of the world."
Isaac Holeman BA '09 and Dieterich Lawson '12: Connecting health care workers
Holeman is a co-founder of FrontlineSMS:Medic, an organization seeking the practical application of mobile technology in global healthcare delivery. Lawson currently works as lead developer for the organization's tools, which include a medical records system that can be used anywhere there is a mobile signal.
Holeman described the group's work in a recent post on the FrontlineSMS:Medic blog:
"Dieterich and I recently attended the annual OpenMRS meeting, and it was great. Dieterich has been working very hard on a messaging module that will enable health workers to send SMS and other types of messages via OpenMRS, and his demo was very well received. I had a great time brainstorming with friends and mentors from all over the world…One of the key elements of this meeting was the sense of community, and the clear agreement that the meeting itself wasn't just about understanding our software application, it was about building relationships and a collegial atmosphere that will keep this good work moving forward despite many inevitable challenges."
Alex Harsha BA '09: Seeking culturally appropriate solutions
Harsha, who studied international affairs at Lewis & Clark, began working in Mali after graduation. She works with the Mali Health Organizing Project on a mobile medical records system developed by FrontlineSMS:Medic. On her blog, N be taa Mali la…, she writes about her experiences with the NGO and about what she is learning during her time in Mali.
"Development folk often talk about the 'last mile.' Both a useful metaphor and a geographical reality, the last mile is…that final leg separating a population from needed services. Mobile phone-wielding community health workers are a last mile solution in multiple senses: using the only type of telecommunications infrastructure accessible, these outreach workers bring primary care to populations who are not otherwise connected to health services. Yet, in development work, the last mile is not only a physical barrier, but a temporal one as well. How do you make a project sustainable in the world's most impoverished, inaccessible, and under-educated areas? Keep it simple…Whatever we provide, it is precisely those under-resourced communities who must bear the cost of sustaining a program, which means the system must be low-tech and easily manageable by people who have more than enough work to do already!"

When I became Plain, friends asked me how I could give up the "fun" of fashion and shopping. I didn't think of it as giving up fun, but as finding peace. I was no longer bound to the anxiety of styling my hair, buying clothes, managing an extensive (closets, people, CLOSETS) wardrobe, and "watching" my weight. I had the fun of sewing, choosing fabrics that are suitable and of good quality, and of being confident that in all occasions, I was appropriately dressed. I no longer worry about the ups and downs of weight gain and loss triggered by a chronic illness. My hair is gloriously long and gloriously weaving silver strands amongst the chestnut red and brown. I don't spend anything on cosmetics and jewelry. I have no valuables to lose, I don't have to replace clothes because they are no longer suitable to the fashion. I have freedom. The price of being a clotheshorse was not only the hit to the credit card, but the constant level anxiety of trying to look good. That anxiety is gone, and I resent it when people tell me I should have it back, and give up Plain in the way I express it. Am I sometimes "mistaken" for a nun? Yes, but that isn't really a mistake, as I belong to a religious order. Am I sometimes mistaken for Amish? Yes, but that is no insult, to be "mistaken" for a woman of peace. To be a woman of peace is my goal.
Currently, I have to wear a uniform at work. I don't really like the uniform, but it is part of restaurant culture. I do it. I keep it as simple as possible. It seems to be an accepted part of modern life, that many of us require special clothes for work. And then I do wear a "uniform" the rest of the time – the simple Plain dress and kapp, or the habit. Plain is more than having just a few choices of clothes. Jeans and a sweater are not Plain, unless that is one's expression of Kingdom living. Mere simplicity is beneficial, yet there is a deeper spirituality to Plain.
I have come to love the habit. It is what I have been longing for, in my heart, walking under the protection of the roof of the Church. It tells people who I am and what I am at a quick glance, just as the architectural vernacular of "church" is expressed in formal ways. The form follows function, in that it is modest, easy to make (really), and yet complicated enough to remind one that in essence, the wearer is cloistered, set aside, protected, while still serving God in the world. The head covering is our protection, and the sign of prayer, much as a bell tower or steeple is. The scapular is a narthex, covering all that is within, and our yoke to bear for Christ. The long tunic unites all dedicated religious, the nave of the church. No matter what we are inside, no matter what tribulations and wounds we have borne, we are included in that body. Whether we wear shoes or we are discalced (wearing sandals, or barefoot), we do so with simplicity and practicality. My shoes are all functional and very plain, good quality, and bought to last for years. Every piece of jewelry I wear now has religious significance – cross, St. Michael's medal, holy images. Plain is how I express living in God's Kingdom. I have left this fallen world, and while I am still in battle to keep it from overwhelming my one small castle, I am secure within its walls.
